About This Home
As of July 2025Tucked along a tranquil canal just minutes from the Intracoastal, 945 E Richland Avenue offers the perfect blend of solid construction, thoughtful upgrades, and serene waterfront living. Built with enduring concrete block, this 4-bedroom, 2-bath home invites you to slow down and savor the moments—whether it's watching dolphins glide past your private dock or navigating out to open water for a day on the boat.
Inside, tile and classic terrazzo floors run throughout, combining timeless style with low-maintenance ease. The layout offers space for gathering and unwinding, while the private back deck with a heated hot tub makes every day feel like a retreat. A beautifully maintained dock provides the perfect vantage point for morning coffee or sunset views, all backed by a reinforced concrete seawall. Peace of mind comes standard thanks to hurricane-rated windows, storm shutters, a hurricane-impact front door, reinforced garage door, newer gutters, and solid concrete block construction.
Set in a quiet neighborhood just minutes from Melbourne International Airport, Cape Canaveral, and the thriving Space Coast, this home delivers both lifestyle and location in equal measure. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence or a weekend escape, this is waterfront livingdesigned to last.
